Packed with fun-filled word scrambles, categorization tasks, and writing activities, What’s Up in Science? will develop critical thinking and analytical skills in your students. While solutions are provided for the puzzle exercises, some of the problems are open-ended and have no definitive answers, showing that scientific inquiry generates tough questions and that knowledge changes as new evidence becomes available.

Robert G. Hoehn has taught earth science, physical science, and biology in the Roseville Joint Union High School District of California since 1963. He uses wit and humor daily as an educational tool. Author of numerous publications, including Science Puzzlers from Jossey-Bass, he counts seven National Summer Science grants from the National Science Foundation among his many accomplishments.

“For a secondary-school science teacher, looking for a source
of paper-pencil activities and puzzles, this book will be a gold
mine. The activities involve spelling, vocabulary, and mathematics,
related to a variety of biological and earth science
topics.”
--Jacqueline V. Mallinson, associate professor of science, retired,
Western Michigan University

“This is effortless learning that will turn on the quirky
minds of upper elementary through high school explorers. A book
that puts thinking back into the science curriculum. It will awaken
the true scientists put off by years of pat answers. This book
shows students that there really is a lot new to learn out
there.”
--Kate Carr, Discovery Science Center, Fort Collins, Colorado
